Duca di Saragnano, Vecciano 2004

If you haven't tried a "Super-Tuscan" before - here's your great-value opportunity! These high-quality, 'rule-breaking' reds are hugely popular (especially in the US) and command big bucks! This superb example is made from a perfect harmony of Chianti's Sangiovese grape, super-charged with a little Cabernet Sauvignon - for a magnificent, hearty red that fans of power-packed wines will adore!

Founded in 1938 by the Barbanera family, this stunning winery spares no expense on their wines. Current winemaker Simona Barbanera insists on using premium hand-harvested fruit from the winery's best vineyard sites. The wine then undergoes a lengthy slumber (over eighteen months!) in fine oak barrels before it's ready for release.

The result is amazing! Ripe and concentrated (thanks to its five-star vintage) with abundant brambly-fruit and vanilla flavours. A perfect partner to hearty Italian cuisine.
